ANOTHER CHOICE made a promsing start over hurdles when runner-up at Punchestown and with improvement very much on the cards he can go one better at the chief expense of Howaya C D And E who also shaped well on her first go in this sphere when second at Bellewstown. Westcoastinformant is another with the form to have a say and he rates a solid place prospect.
